Rooftop Tent - by Eezi-Awn

[mararmeisto]

Nice roof top tent! I have a "Sky Dome" but haven't get around to it yet. Is yours the same tent they used in "Long Way Down" on their Nissan Safari?

The vehicles were Nissan Patrols, and if it wasn't Eezi-Awns, it was something very similar. My understanding is that Eezi-Awn is only one of a number of different companies that make these. I bought this one because I actually found someone here in Canada who sells them, and that looks like a rooftop tent that is not a Canadian Tire tent stapled onto a hinged piece of plywood.

Actually, Sky Dome was not one that I found during my searching.

Thank goodness !! I knew you were not talking about his skydome but had to take the jab !! I just found it very funny after reading it a time or 2 . Everyone needs a laugh now and then.

I tried to buy a skydome but i found the guy who deals them over in victoria to be a complete flake !!
I called him and he said that he was busy and can i call him back in an hour then i called him back and he was at a restaurant eating and told me to call him back in another hour . Then He did not answer so i left a message and he never called me back !! I guess he did not need my business....

I will look into the eezi-awn one.

cheers isaac

Hey Paul, what's the hold up? Falco is waiting to see your project "opened up"...

Is it too much work to open up for a picture session or ?

This is a recent update! Hope the change is working out for you!

So, after clambering atop a ladder to use this thing, I decided to make one more modification. The high-roof is just a bit too high, and the extra step ladder wasn't really as much help as I had hoped it would be.

As the Fates would have it, UsedVictoria had was just what I was looking for: a ladder rack. Long story, short: ladder rack mounted to utility trailer, modified, and then rooftop tent affixed to it. Check out my photo album for a couple of new pictures.

I like that method, I saw it on one of the roof top tent sites and thought it was a great idea. you can still use the van and leave the camp site setup and the trailer is multipurpose instead of having a utility trailer and a tent trailer. 2 thumbs up from me :)
